Header help

[simplycleanej6]

I have a slammed 2000 civic ex with d16y8. Any suggestions on headers that won't scrape. I refuse to spend 300 on a header so something less would be nice. Thanks

Raise the car up, spend the money on a quality header.

Slammed? post some pictures up, you got me interested.
I've been on the search for headers that wrap around the engine tighter for a while, I also made a couple of threads in different forums and no one seems to know of a brand that makes them like we need them. Either you get a custom header or downpipe made, or you raise your engine, or you just keep scraping it until it breaks since they are pretty cheap to replace.
Don't raise your car IMO, there's a lot of 'function' people here who don't like the whole 'slammed/stanced' scene.

some brands like bisimoto header hugs the block closely but those will run you about $500+. your always gonna have these problems with cheaper header, cheaper header don't have great fitments like that.

If you want the tightest fitting header for the most clearance, use a STOCK HEADER. Anything aftermarket is bigger regardless of design.

i agree. The only thng that could fit tighter is a custom job.

^Well that's only if you have a nice built engine, or at least an engine swap. Picture my little D16y7 with that exhaust.. it'd sound like straight crap lmao.

Stick about 8 of these in a row. Nice thing is they are so short you can do corners with em.

still a chance that op might already be using stock ones... might just be asking if there is a aftermarket brand that had tighter fitment

here is the pic of the bisimoto header fitment this is on a d16 EF/CRX chassis

i don't see any other aftermarket header that has fitment like this they all hang out forward and down a bit more then stock one

Well they will just have to get over it. I ain't raising it. It's not even that low. It may not even be something to worry about bro.

I wouldnt call shot gun in that. If its RHD then you must not vslue your health much.

Still waiting on pictures of the car.. lol

Then you'll be fine. I had a 3" downpipe with my boost setup and only a very small flat spot on it after pulling it years later to part it out.. never affected performance. Also had to deal with speed bumps on campus
